GAYVN
DUCATI REVS UP
New site is a partnership with AEBN, NakedSword
Most prominently featured is Ducati’s most recent work. “It’s all exclusive content on the top of the site,” he
said. “And we’re updating it every two weeks with original scenes.”
He explained, “The scenes are shot in a different style with mixed media. We’re using iPhones and standard
shooting. And also, we have condom and condom-less. If it’s hot, it’s hot. I have both condom and raw action.
Just to say it’s hot because it’s bareback is ridiculous. I’m trying to capture people at their best.”
Among those people he’s captured is Angel Cruz, with whom Ducati does a bareback scene, and another
with Arad Winwin and Seth Santoro that has been a fan favorite.
“Just in the first four scenes up there, two of the guys have never been shot before. We try to find new
people, which is virtually impossible.” The two newbies are Colombian Alejandro Castle and Ken Smith, who
perform with Armond Rizzo.
And the fourth scene, Ducati notes, features real-life boyfriends Manuel Skyee and Mick Stallone.
Ducati’s existing sites, NastyDaddy.com and GentlemensCloset.com, have separate memberships. But
IF IT’S HOT, IT’S HOT. I HAVE BOTH CONDOM AND RAW ACTION. JUST TO
SAY IT’S HOT BECAUSE IT’S BAREBACK
IS RIDICULOUS. I’M TRYING TO
CAPTURE PEOPLE AT THEIR BEST.

business, dubbed by Vice.com as “the paragon of the
modern porn scion—a workaholic with a lifestyle that’s
a far cry from what many imagine when they think of a
‘porn star.’” And now, Trenton Ducati has a new feather
to add to his content-producer cap after the launch of
TrentonDucati.com.
A joint partnership between AEBN, NakedSword
HHe’s one of the hardest-working men in gay adult show
and Ducati Studios, the site features content shot
exclusively for this site as well as choice selections
from Ducati’s other two sites, NastyDaddy.com and
GentlemensCloset.com. And on top of that, members
have access to 5,000 scenes from the NakedSword
library.
“It’s really a packed site—you can get everything
from Bel Ami to Kink,” says Ducati, an award-winning
performer and director. The “Just Added” feature
showcases the most recent content added to AEBN, he
points out. “My tastes are definitely reflected on there
… it’s stuff that I would want to watch.”
members of TrentonDucati.com will be able to enjoy some original content from those sites as well.
“I feel like NastyDaddy has great sex—the realest,” said a proud Ducati. But he asserts that the original
content for the new site is “the same level of sex but with younger and less hairy performers.”
Ducati shared another tidbit: famed director/DJ Chi Chi LaRue is part of the new venture and will start off
running the social media department.
And he also took care to share his gratitude for the hard work of others on the new venture. “I want to thank
Tim Valenti with Naked Sword, all of the people at AEBN, and Sister Roma. And my graphics department
person, Mike Patton, [who has] the thankless job of creating endless graphics, and my genius editor, Norbert.”
Speaking of thanks, Ducati was also appreciative of the good press he got in the Vice.com article, for which
the reporter followed him around during the weekend of the Grabbys Awards.
“He said some things that made me feel really good. It is a lot of work. We do work really hard,” Ducati said,
explaining that the reporter took the time to understand the technical side of creating adult entertainment.
“There are so many things that go into this giant puzzle of porn. He was so respectful to go through each
step.”
Ducati added, “That was very awesome. He stayed with me for three days and was very nice. My mom even
read that article.”
SITE SPECIFICS | By Sharan Street
Chuck Renslow (Continued from page 54)
Renslow served as president for many years.
Renslow was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame
in 1991 and received dozens of awards from the gay and leather
communities. He received the Leather Journal’s lifetime achievement
award and a Centurion Award as Leatherman of the Century.
He served on the board of directors of the National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force and was a U.S. representative to what was known
then as the International Lesbian and Gay Association.
Renslow also was involved in newspapers, purchasing GayLife
newspaper from its founder, Grant Ford, and publishing it for several
years until it folded in 1986.
Renslow was especially active in politics in the ’70s and ’80s,
as the gay community gained clout. He was the founder of Prairie
State Democratic Club in 1980, and they hosted events with top
politicians from Chicago and Cook County, and even presidential candidates
coming through the area. He pushed for the gay and lesbian civil-rights ordinance
when it was first introduced in the City Council in the early ’70s, and the initial
executive order banning discrimination in Chicago city government, as issued by
Mayor Jane Byrne.
He served as a Democratic Party 43rd Ward precinct captain for eight years, as a
candidate for delegate to the 1980 Democratic National Convention (for U.S. Sen.

Edward Kennedy), and within the 46th and 48th Ward Democratic
Organizations.
His other bars and businesses have included the Chicago Eagle,
Triumph Health Studios, Sparrows Lounge, Bistro Too, Zolar, the
Club Baths, Center Stage and Pyramid.
Renslow was born in 1929, raised in the Logan Square
neighborhood of Chicago, and graduated from Lane Technical High
School.
The Leather Archives & Museum staff and board issued this
statement, in part:
“As LA&M’s co-founder, Chuck gave deeply and worked with
great passion for over 26 years to save the names and faces of
Leather, kink, BDSM and fetish people, communities, and history,
and he fought to ensure that Leatherfolk were the ones who
would ‘tell’ their own stories so that they might better understand and bring
enhanced visibility to ‘Leather history.’ As co-founder, longtime president and,
most recently, chairman of the board, Chuck has left his mark throughout our
institution and touched each of us very deeply. He will be missed.”
Renslow is survived by many friends and family. His life is chronicled in
Leatherman: The Legend of Chuck Renslow, by Tracy Baim and Owen Keehnen.
